People from Latin America who are not familiar with racial issues in the U.S. believe this is false. Brown people have bought into right-wing media’s narrative.
I have seen other video clips toting conspiracy theories, QAnon stories, and the are persuaded by a very consistent framing of the information.
It’s a great thing they are not American voters, but they will eventually vote for the Bolsonaros of the world, they will support those look-alikes in their own countries.

Don’t be surprised with progressives and the left gaining more support. The right is advancing an authoritarian agenda, and they will face the consequences. They will have only themselves to blame.
They are terrified with the prospects of a minority-majority country, where the White population that is being outpaced by Latinos. They think disenfranchising is the best mechanism to avoid the inevitable.
They fail to understand that the current population growth in the last three years is not enough, adding to it the shut down of legal immigration, this is creating a critical scenario for the economy in the future.
The events of today are slightly different, from what this circus has been since Election Day. First, the messaging is clear: the Trump campaign doesn’t have the votes, but not even a legal case. They have their base and they are gearing up for a fight:
The campaign knows, just like the rest of the country, that they don't have the votes. The Wayne County drama and the Wisconsin recount are signs that has President is moving forward in his plan to change the results:
He’s also playing the *socialist* card, because in their very limited intellectual capacity, that’s about as much as they can deal with in a political debate.
This a disturbing pattern that probably a psychologist would be better trained to explain: Venezuelans who do not have ties to the US pretend to be stakeholders in an electoral process that has nothing to do with them.
Several days ago a local reporter asked what was the reason for the "interest" Venezuelans have about politics (and elections) in the United States.
We spoke about Venezuelan-Americans and their support for Trump, and the influence the Cuban-American exile in South Florida has on the Venezuelan-American community.

Hace unos días una reportera de aquí me preguntaba cuál era la razón de ese ‘interés’ de los venezolanos en la política (y las elecciones) de los estados Unidos.
Hablamos por supuesto de los venezolanos-americanos, de su preferencia por Trump, y de la influencia del exilio cubano-americano en el sur de la Florida sobre la comunidad venezolano-americana.
En las conversaciones académicas, el tema de los venezolanos-americanos ocupa buena parte de nuestro interés, tanto por sus preferencias políticas como su influencia efectiva en los resultados electorales.
